This isn't even that offensive until the baseball scene, where it becomes entirely unwatchable.
Probably the worst book I've ever read.

The first scene that made me double take was when the vampire was sitting next to the girl in class and she looks at him and he looks like he's about to vomit on her. I think they were trying to express desire maybe? I don't know but I just lost my shit and it only got better from there on

This.
The godfather, goodfellas, the shining, jaws, full metal jacket, jurassic park, jackie brown, shawshank
>>7827367
The Godfather and Shawshank redemption are so far from their source material in quality it is truly unbelievable.
No country for old men
Schindler's List
Forest Gump (truly a garbage fucking book)
Silence of the Lambs
Maltese Falcoln
Requiem for a Dream (but close)
To Kill a Mockingbird
>>7827393
Kubrick basically cut out all the stupid parts.
>>7827398
I disagree about the Shining because of the Hedge Animals being truly fucking scary shit.
starship troopers
>>7827401
The movie was a huge joke, not saying it wasnt enjoyable but I doubt Heinlein was thinking "when they make this a movie there are gonna be tittys, ass, blood and big fuckin monsters". The movie was a penny dreadful, the book was actual decent sci-fi
>>7827400
And Wendy is a blonde bombshell in the book, not some quivering mass of sticks and teeth.
>>7827400
ok but what about when halloran fights the hedge animals
that was the dumbest thing I've ever read
A Clockwork Orange
it was a good decision to ignore the activists and the last chapter
>>7827529
What happens in the last chapter
>>7827411
Are you simple? The movie is a parody, not an adaptation.
>>7827594
You asked someone who liked the Starship Troopers novel whether they are simple, and I believe that question answers itself.

The Princess Bride

I thought she was cute in a way, senpai.

My friend saw me reading that book all the time and tried to pick it up. Gave up after a page and asked if they were ever just going to make a movie out of it. I had to spend the next half hour trying to explain to him why it's impossible to make a movie or tv show out of it.
I need smarter friends.

>The movie is a parody, not an adaptation.
You wish.
The movie is a generic sci-fi flick with giant bugs and at the last moment someone found the rights to slap the novel's name on it.
>>The movie is sillier.
>>7828088
Holy shit are you really thick to the point of not seing the irony in the movie ?
>>7828175
He might not be simple, I didn't realise it was satire until I was 17 either.
>>7826011
They're almost exactly the same

i can't believe he continued on with the smoke 'mataphor' and made it a gimmick.
>>7828175
>The movie started life as a script called Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine. When similarities, especially the "bugs" were pointed out between this and the novel Starship Troopers, plans were made to license the rights to the book and tweak character names and circumstances to match. Verhoeven had never read the book, and attempted to read it for the film, but it made him "bored and depressed", so that he only read a few chapters
I'm not saying it's not ironic.
It's not a parody of Heinlein's novel though. It's an unrelated thing that got the name attached halfway through.
